A solid nonconducting sphere of radius R has a charge Q uniformly distributed throughout its volume. A Gaussian surface of radiu
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

1. E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

Explanation:

According to the problem, Q is the charge on the non conducting sphere of radius R. Let ρ be the volume charge density of the non conducting sphere.

As shown in the figure, let r be the radius of the sphere inside the bigger non conducting sphere. Hence, the charge on the sphere of radius r is :

Q₁ = ∫ ρ dV

Here dV is the volume element of sphere of radius r.

Q₁ = ρ x 4π x ∫ r² dr

The limit of integration is from 0 to r as r is less than R.

Q₁ = (4π x ρ x r³ )/3

But volume charge density, ρ = \frac{3Q}{4\pi R^{3} }

So, Q_{1} = \frac{Qr^{3} }{R^{3} }

Applying Gauss law of electrostatics ;

∫ E ds = Q₁/ε₀

Here E is electric field inside the sphere and ds is surface element of sphere of radius r.

Substitute the value of Q₁ in the above equation. Hence,

E x 4πr² = ( Q x r³) / ( R³ x ε₀ )

Traumatic brain injury such as a concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally an acceleration
eimsori [14]

The complete text of the problem is:

<em>"Traumatic brain injury such as concussion results when the head undergoes a very large acceleration. Generally, an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1 ms will cause injury. Suppose a small child rolls off a bed that is 0.43 m above the floor. If the floor is hardwood, the child's head is brought to rest in approximately 1.8 mm. If the floor is carpeted, this stopping distance is increased to about 1.1 cm. Calculate the magnitude and duration of the deceleration in both cases, to determine the risk of injury. Assume the child remains horizontal during the fall to the floor. Note that a more complicated fall could result in a head velocity greater or less than the speed you calculate. "</em>

<em />

<u>Solution:</u>

1) Acceleration: -2336 m/s^2 on the hardwood floor, -382 m/s^2 on the carpeted floor

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of the child just before he hits the floor. This can be done by using the equation

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where

v is the final speed

u = 0 is the initial speed (the child starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

d = 0.43 m is the distance covered by the child as he falls from the bed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(0.43)}=2.9 m/s

Now we can analyze the moment of the collision. The child hits the floor with an initial speed of v = 2.9 m/s, and he comes to a stop, so the final speed is v' = 0. If the floor is hardwood, the stopping distance is

d = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

So we can find the acceleration by using again the equation

v'^2 - v^2 = 2ad

Solving for a,

a=\frac{v'^2 - v^2}{2d}=\frac{0-2.9^2}{2(0.0018)}=-2336 m/s^2

For the carpeted floor instead,

d=1.1 cm = 0.011 m

therefore the acceleration is

a=\frac{v'^2 - v^2}{2d}=\frac{0-2.9^2}{2(0.011)}=-382 m/s^2

2) Duration: 1.24 ms for the hardwood floor, 7.59 ms for the carpeted floor

We can find the duration of the collision in both cases by using the equation of the acceleration

a=\frac{v'-v}{t}

where

v' = 0

v = 2.9 m/s

For the hardwood floor,

a=-2336 m/s^2

So the duration of the collision is

t = \frac{v'-v}{a}=\frac{0-2.9}{-2336}=0.00124 s = 1.24 ms

For the carpeted floor,

a=-382 m/s^2

So the duration of the collision is

t = \frac{v'-v}{a}=\frac{0-2.9}{-382}=0.00759 s = 7.59 ms

We can now comment the results using the initial statement of the problem:

"Generally an acceleration less than 800 m/s2 lasting for any length of time will not cause injury, whereas an acceleration greater than 1,000 m/s2 lasting for at least 1ms will cause injury"

Therefore, the fall on the hardwood floor can result in injury (since the acceleration is greater than 1,000 m/s2 for more than 1 ms), while the fall on the carpeted floor is not dangerous (much less than 1000 m/s^2).

Please help me
Grace [21]

Answer:

a. 60 N*s

b. 60 (kg*m)/s

c. 3 m/s

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 20 kg

v_i = 0 m/s

t = 10 s

F = 6 N

a) Impulse:

I = F*t

I = 6 N*10 s

I = 60 N*s

b) Momentum:

p = v*m

F = m(a)

a = F/m

a = 6 N/20 kg

a = 0.3m/s^2

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s

p = 3 m/s*20 kg

p = 60 (kg*m)/s

c. Final velocity

a = (v_f -v_i)/t

v_f = (0.3 m/s^2)*10 s

v_f = 3.0 m/s

State the methods of nuclear fission waste disposal and the suitability of each method.
Alexeev081 [22]
<span>Most low-level radioactive waste (LLW) is typically sent to land-based disposal immediately following its packaging for long-term management. This means that for the majority (~90% by volume) of all of the waste types produced by nuclear technologies, a satisfactory disposal means has been developed and is being implemented around the world.
</span>

Radioactive wastes are stored so as to avoid any chance of radiation exposure to people, or any pollution.The radioactivity of the wastes decays with time, providing a strong incentive to store high-level waste for about 50 years before disposal.Disposal of low-level waste is straightforward and can be undertaken safely almost anywhere.Storage of used fuel is normally under water for at least five years and then often in dry storage.<span>Deep geological disposal is widely agreed to be the best solution for final disposal of the most radioactive waste produced.

g Power is _________________the force required to push something the work done by a system the speed of an object the rate that
Levart [38]

Answer:

the rate that the energy of a system is transformed

Explanation:

We can define energy as the capacity or ability to do work. Power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is transformed. It can also be regarded as the time rate of energy transfer. In older physics literature, power is sometimes referred to as activity.

Power is given by energy/time. Its unit is watt which is defined as joule per second. Another popular unit of power is horsepower. 1 horsepower = 746 watts.

Very large magnitude of power is measured in killowats and megawatts.
